Are cardinals a bad choice in a mixed reef tank?

Seems the Pajama and Banggai like a more gentler flow. Would they be comfortable in a tank with constant mid to high flow of a mixed reef tank?

As long as there are areas in the tank where the flow is not as intense, they'll be fine.

If you have a way to make a cave for the PJ cardinal that would be best. They like a dim area to hang out, mine likes to stay in one of the caves I built off to the side where the light's dimmer. I don't have any experience with the Banggai cardinals.

I started off with 3. 1 didn't make it and now the 2 left are like cats and dogs. Seeing them suspended in the water so peacefully at the LFS one would never think they'll be such a bully to one another. The one being bullied was stressed out so many times I thought he was a goner but still hanging on. He'll be way up by the overflow weir seemingly struggling to swim horizontally. I'll be giving him away as the other one seems  more than contempt on being by itself. He actually likes riding the strong current compared to the other two.
